384-well tissue culture-treated (TC-treated) microplates with black well walls and an optically-clear cyclic olefin bottom for imaging cells in high content analysis, high content screening, and other cell-based assays.

These CellCarrier Ultra microplates for high content imaging applications are tissue culture treated and are available in black in a 384-well format. The CellCarrier Ultra HCS microplates benefit from a film bottom made of cyclic olefin, a plastic that has glass-like optical properties, providing superior image quality and also good cell adherence. They have an ultra-low plate bottom (0.2mm) for better well access when using water immersion and high NA objectives, and a new design, low profile polystyrene lid for reduced evaporation.
